A girl is walking along a disserted lakeshore, all is calm and enchantingly silent'”a dream where nature appears in all of its mysterious, eternal beauty. But even in the most beautiful dreams reality intrudes, blocking blissful reverie. Disturbing the girl's sleep is a mountain of garbage. In this delicate, poetic short film by the young Japanese director Eiji Shimada, the images are as suggestive as they are evocative.
